Coral Polge, english artist medium, was artistically guided by the spirit of Maurice-Quentin de La Tour (1704 -1788) in making drawings of entities, those the medium clairvoyant was able to see close to the people who visited her for a consult. She said:”I don’t actually see the person I am drawing, I am rather drawing what I feel than what I see. Its something about the personality I am drawing that comes over me and it is developing as I am drawing. Sometimes I get so many links that I start mixing the influences and get wrong results. I cannot concentrate on a specific person, I am drawing whichever spirit of whatever person links with me.”
Listed below are ‘The Seven Principles of Spiritualism’ as adopted and accepted by members of the Spiritualist National Union as guidelines for the development of a personal philosophy of how to live their lives…
The Fatherhood of God
The Brotherhood of Man
The Communion of Spirits and the Ministry of Angels
(This is the key Principle to our Religion)
The Continuous Existence of the Human Soul
Personal Responsibility
Compensation and Retribution hereafter for all Good
and Evil Deeds done on Earth
Eternal Progress Open to Every Human Soul

Here are some Guidelines for (1-1) private sittings.
Firstly can I say that any genuine medium will inform you that there are NO guarantees when it comes to linking/communicating with the spirit world. I should also advise that due to recent changes in government legislation that when consenting to a reading with a medium you are both entering into a legal binding contract if monies are to be exchanged as the medium is providing a service. I always now carry a disclaimer stating what I have said above and also that at any time either I or the sitters (customer) feel that the sitting is not working for them then the reading can be stopped (by the medium or the sitter).
Always when possible check that the medium is a genuine medium (someone recommended by a friend, spiritualist church etc.) Sadly there are still people out there who will take advantage and claim to be something that they are not. Please when entering into a sitting with a medium do so with an open mind, do not have any pre-conceived ideas as to who will come through to make contact and who will not and please do not expect any answers to problems you may have. Guidance may be given from the spirit world but they will not give direct answers, as they understand that we all have free will and can’t intervene directly in our lives.
Please try to be on time for your reading as the medium will have prepared for the sitting at the pre-arranged time and if for whatever reason you cannot attend them please let them know as much in advance as it is possible to do. All these things are really a matter of courtesy.
I always explain communication from spirit as a 3-way communication i.e. from spirit (spirit communicator) through spirit (the medium) to spirit (you the sitter) as we are part spirit too.
There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to the content of a reading although some would disagree with me. For example from my own experience I have found that in some circumstances the communicating spirit may not wish to discuss the circumstances of their passing (e.g. especially if it was not a nice one.) As was said earlier you may be surprised as to who turns up to communicate with you. It may be a long lost relative, an old school friend, someone you helped once and had forgotten about, and it could also be someone who wants to make amends for some wrong doing, if this happens to you at a reading please try to be compassionate, allow them to speak and try to forgive. This way you can both move forward… they in spirit and you in life.
I hope that these few guidelines have helped you should you decide to attend a private sitting in the future.
